Some friends that live in an apartment next door and I would like to connect our two LANs together. Both of us have linksys routers (and a cable modem, kinda irrelevent) with about 4 computers on the LAN. My friend's router's ip is set to 192.168.1.1 and mine is set to 192.168.1.2 (both subnets are 255.255.255.0). No computer on my friend's network have 192.168.1.2 as their ip. Both of us have static ip networks. Now here's the problem: when we plug in the two routers together, my friend loses internet connectivity after about 5 minutes. We can ping each others computers when the cable between the LANs is plugged in, but having the side affect of my friend losing connectivity. Any ideas?
Thanks,
CaP
